The Sheriff’s Department separated from the individual that handled the grant funding as of the first of 2025. We have worked diligently to get these reports correct as of December 31, 2024. Municipal Court recognizes that Quarter 5 was not submitted timely to the grant authority. We have since implemented a policy for grant reporting that related to the only current open grant administered by Municipal Court Probation Department. Section F states that a similar reporting schedule be implemented for all future grants received by the Probation Department. We want to reiterate that when received for the entire calendar year 2023, expenditures from the Violence Reduction Grant that were reported to BCS matched the expenditures on the Expense Transaction Ledger provided by the Auditor’s Office. The discrepancy was solely related to quarterly reporting to BCS and was corrected in the following quarter after initial understatement. We have controls in place to ensure that all grants will be reported timely and accurately moving forward

Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management there were inspection reports that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: Of a sample size of fifty-four (54) units, twenty-seven (27) units did not have a biennial HQS inspection performed. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $239,802.

The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs are in material noncompliance with the with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections.

Finding 2023-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 and 14.EHV Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility: Emergency Housing Vouchers Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 3,328 units. Of a sample size of fifty-four (54) tenant files, the following was noted: • One tenant file was missing entirely • Original application was missing in 6 files • Lead based paint form was missing in 3 files • Signed lease was missing in 3 files Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $88,087 Cause: There is significant deficiency in the Emergency Housing Vouchers Program and a material weakness in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Emergency Housing Vouchers Program is in non-compliance and the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Jonathan Campbell, Director of Housing Programs, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2024.

Management’s Planned Corrective Action: In 2023 there were multiple new programs implemented by the Agency. Every effort was made to contact county and/or state funding sources to determine the Federal awards and determine the Agencies requirements for reporting such Federal Awards. In several instances, we receive conflicting information on these Federal Awards. This resulted in us having to perform several revisions to our Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Award. We continue to gather and verify information on our funding and Federal Awards in order to track and provide an accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. In 2024 a budget committee was formed to help better track funding and expenditures. Koinonia recognizes and appreciates the importance of tracking the Expenditures of Federal Awards and will work diligently with our funding sources to ensure we are updating and tracking any changes that affect these funds.
